Digital Performer 8 is now shipping

64-bit support

Take full advantage of your 64-bit computer system

Today’s plug-ins and virtual instruments are incredibly powerful, but they also require massive amounts of memory. DP’s 64-bit support lets you take full advantage of all your computer's memory for optimum performance.

Windows 7 support

Award-winning design and features for Windows

Version 8 brings Digital Performer’s award-winning design and features to Windows 7 and beyond. Operation is almost identical to the Mac version, making it easy to work on either platform.

15 new themes

Artistically crafted UI designs to titillate your muse

Other audio sequencer applications give you shades of gray. DP8 gives you dozens of artistically crafted user interface themes that completely transform the look of the app. From the whimsical “Hi Fi” to the sinister “None More Black”, you can instantly choose a style that fits your mood.

Punch Guard™ confidence recording

Take the stress out of punch-ins

Never again worry about accidentally cutting off the head or tail of that perfect record pass. Digital Performer’s new Punch Guard features always captures extra time before and after punch points, so you can simply uncover any additional material with a quick edge edit.

100% Cocoa UI for Mac OS X

Goodbye Carbon, Hello Cocoa

Many third-party plug-ins you’ll use everyday with DP are being converted from Carbon to Mac OS X’s ultra-modern Cocoa UI platform, and DP is 100% ready to host them. Cocoa is the future, and Digital Performer is there.

New video playback engine

Audio for picture as it’s meant to be

Enjoy full-screen viewing of 720 or 1080 HD video clips on a primary or secondary computer monitor, or on a conventional HDMI or SDI video monitor connected to a MOTU video interface like the HD Express or HDX-SDI.

Plug-in management

Organize and manage all your plug-ins

Version 8’s new plug-in chooser lets you organize and quickly find the effect or preset you are looking for. You can also organize all your plug-ins, factory and third-party alike, just the way you prefer, regardless of format.

Rewire and VST plug-in support

Run third-party VSTs and Rewire clients

With support for VST plug-ins and Rewire on both Mac and Windows, you can easily move DP projects from one platform to the other seamlessly, with no additional steps required. Just open the project and go.
